Chapter 29 Natasha
"Uh... do you think my bomb... might kill them both..."
While unconscious, Lin Qiong vaguely heard voices.
"Sigh, I told you... your little thing... doesn't have that much... destructive power..."
The intermittent female voice made Lin Qiong realize that someone was talking around him.
He remembered seeing Sambo before he lost consciousness, so judging from the plot, he was most likely in the lower city of Beloborg.
Then Lin Qiong tried hard to open his eyes, slowly parting his eyelids into a slit.
Because of the prolonged coma, his eyes were constantly in complete darkness, making even a small lamp hanging from the ceiling seem extremely glaring to Lin Qiong.
After letting his eyes adjust to the surrounding brightness, Lin Qiong looked around at his surroundings.
I am currently lying on a wooden bed that looks a bit old, probably because it has been used for a long time.
On the bed to the right lies Xing, who is still unconscious. Her brows are slightly furrowed, as if she is troubled by something.
A heater emitting a red glow worked continuously, filling the small room with a comfortable and warm temperature.
Not far from the heater were two medical IV drip stands with several empty IV drips hanging on them.
This appears to be a medical facility; it seems that Sangbo brought Lin Qiong here directly after he fell into a coma.
Just as Lin Qiong was trying to prop himself up on his hands and sit up in bed, a sudden feeling of weakness spread throughout his body.
Lin Qiong felt as if all her strength had been drained away; her hands were too weak to support her body, and she lay back down on the bed.
This commotion also drew the attention of the two people who were talking.
"Yo~ You're finally awake?"
Seeing that Lin Qiong had woken up, Sang Bo looked over with a smile, his tone slightly teasing.
At this moment, a mature woman with light blue hair, dressed in white, with a bright red cloth strip tied around her right arm and a fluffy brown bear doll at her waist, walked over.
She looked at Lin Qiong lying on the bed with her red eyes and said to him in a gentle voice, "There is still some hypnotic gas in your body that has not been expelled, which will cause you to be unable to exert your strength."
"This is normal. You'll be fine after a little more rest."
After speaking, the mature woman noticed that Lin Qiong was staring at her, so she smiled slightly at him.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."
"Hello, I'm Natasha, an underground doctor, and this is my clinic."
In fact, even without introductions, Lin Qiong would recognize the mature woman in front of him, after all, she was his first true survivor in the game.
The reason Lin Qiong kept staring at her was because he felt that Natasha was more attractive now than she was in the game.
Perhaps this is why Natasha exudes such an approachable aura? Lin Qiong wasn't quite sure about it either.
After Natasha finished introducing herself, Lin Qiong politely replied, "Hello, Miss Natasha, you can just call me Qiong."
"Qiong, right? You should rest for a while." Natasha nodded slightly to Lin Qiong, then turned to look at Xing, who was still unconscious beside her.
"The woman next to you was also brought here by Sambo. She must be one of your friends, right?"
"Oh dear, it took me a lot of effort to get you all here, shouldn't I give you some compensation for your hard work...?" Sangbo said, pretending to be very tired.
Before Sambo could finish speaking, Natasha glared at him. He hurriedly made a zipping motion near his mouth, then stood quietly to the side.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong noticed that Xing, who was standing to the side, had not yet woken up, and Dan Heng and San Yueqi were also nowhere to be found.
In response to Natasha's question, Lin Qiong nodded: "Yes, she is our partner."
"What's wrong with her? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Upon hearing Lin Qiong's question, Natasha shook her head. Looking at Xing, who was still unconscious, she unconsciously placed one hand under her chin and fell into deep thought.
"The hypnotic gases in her body should have been mostly expelled, so she should wake up soon."
Just as Natasha was filled with doubt, Xing, who was still unconscious, suddenly murmured, "No...no...this is...wrong..."
Lin Qiong and Natasha looked over at the sound and saw Xing frowning, her mouth slightly opening and closing, saying things that were hard to understand.
On the other side of the star.
Xing fell into a coma after inhaling the gas emitted by Sambo's hypnotic bomb.
In a daze, when I was still in complete darkness, the scene suddenly changed to a vast snowfield, with heavy snow falling from the sky.
Xing saw a young blonde woman talking to a device that emitted a strange light on the snowfield.
"...They will suffer, they will sacrifice, they will die because of our orders..."
The blonde woman clenched her fists, her slightly trembling body revealing her inner anger and resentment.
“Cocolia...they are not being greeted by death...they will be wrapped in the swaddling clothes of a new world.”
The device's response echoed directly in Xing's mind, like having a speaker installed in her brain, with the sound constantly reverberating within her.
The voice was of indistinguishable gender and was accompanied by bursts of demonic whispers.
Moreover, the device referred to the blonde woman as Cocolia, who is now known as the "Great Guardian".
"What about the people at the bottom?" Young Cocolia asked, her head bowed, her voice filled with hesitation and confusion. "They will lose the protection of the city builders...they will see me as...a tyrant."
"..."
The device remained silent, offering no answer to the question, but instead increasing the stakes to tempt Cocolia, who still cared deeply for the people.
"You have seen... the world we promised." The light emanating from the device intensified at that moment. "A brief misunderstanding... has brought about eternal prosperity."
"Sacrificing a small number of people...can open the door to a new world."
"What would you choose... Cocolia?"
Upon hearing this, Cocolia lowered her head and fell silent.
"No, this is wrong!"
As an observer, Hoshi shouted loudly to the young Cocolia.
Although she has lost a large part of her previous memories, she still remembers common sense questions.
It is wrong to sacrifice a portion of the population for the sake of a more prosperous world.
Not everyone is willing to sacrifice for the so-called new world; those who are willing will fight to the end to resist this unfair decision.
No matter how much Xing called out, the young Cocolia could never hear her voice, for it was just a memory of the past.
Just then, as if she had made up her mind, the young Cocolia looked up at the glowing device.
"...I understand, I know what to do."
After Cocolia finished speaking, the snowfield in front of Xing suddenly became blurry, and then she returned to the pitch-black scene.
